I had had a
particularly difficult week again last week and was feeling like God was so far
from me. I was finally able to sit down
in the quiet and pray a little. All I
could pray for was for God to let me know He was in fact, still there. I just needed to hear from Him in some small
way to give me the little bit of assurance that I needed to get by another day
or another week.
The very
next evening I received yet another gift.
He gave me the
gift Brian’s humor. Words straight from
Brian that literally made me laugh out loud.
I had been
sending photos that I had of the baby and Kara to Kara’s mom and had decided to
go onto my Shutterfly account and see what was on there that she may want. Turns out I had not been
on the site in a couple of years. The
last time I’d signed in and downloaded some photos I had “apparently” set up a family
page so that the kids and my sisters would have access to the pictures that I
had taken. As I told Kara’s mom about
the pictures I was sending her – I love taking pictures and sometimes I would just
randomly take Paxton outside and let him play and just snap away. So consequently, I have hundreds of pictures
- bad shots, shots of him crawling away, shots of him crying and sometimes that
rare --perfectly timed, just the right lighting, just the cutest expression – “perfect
shot.” I had downloaded an afternoon of
that kind of session to Shutterfly and sent Brian a link.
Two years
and seven months later I go back to find he has left goofy comments on a few of
my crazy pictures. Comments I had never
seen; comments so typical of Brian until I could almost hear his voice as I
read them and then for the first time in many months I thought of him and genuinely
laughed out loud. It felt so good and so
right and I was so grateful.
Thank you
God for answering that prayer in the sweetest way.
Enjoy!
